Can this be used on a "regular" sprinkler, like the oscillating, impulse, or spinner sprinklers? Or is it only enough for drip waterers?

It can be used on regular sprinklers. I've used it with regular oscillating sprinklers and such.

No reason why it won't. The controller is only providing 28V current to operate the valves. If you use 28V valves it will work. Of course you could use less robust valves than used for lawn sprinklers.However, I thought drip systems stayed on all the time and therefore do not need valves and a controller.

I would say no unless you are running a couple hundred 1 GPH drippers. You need to be moving some water for this part to work. It worked well for me with a rain bird garden sprinkler, a oscillating sprinkler and the Latest set up of 20 ten GPH micro sprinklers. If you want something that works with drip tape or low flow application go with the EZ FLO. that will work down to 10 GPH regulator inline.

I believe so, yes. But as I said in my review, mine (both of them) only lasted one use and then sprung several leaks, so it may work with a sprinkler, but it may not work more than once or twice.

Yes. Great tool. Will do all of that well. Might be tough on small circles - depends how tight your sprinkler cutout is.

I'd read the label. Regular lawn irrigation likely dilutes its potency. It could work but may need to be applied more frequently than the label recommends in sprinkler locations.

Yes, it can. This sprinkler has 18 water holes that when water comes out, it looks like a fan. The higher the water pressure you have, the bigger and wider "fan" it will create. See the red strip between the timer and the sprinkler holes? That is where you can set the "rotation" of the sprinkler. There are two knobs or stopper. You can set them wide or close to each other. It goes from left to right if you set it at its widest. However, you can set it also to sprinkle only on one side or just a linear portion of your garden.

I haven't tried it but I really doubt you can use it to hook up to a sprinkler. There is not enough pressure.

The question is, Is this PVC pipe under pressure, i.e. like the normal pressure in your water pipes ? If so, then NO. I have alot of PVC pipes on my lawn sprinkler system, and sometimes a leak occurs, and sometimes, rather than total replace that section, I can take the pressure off, let the area REALLY dry and gluck on lots of PVC cement in the area. Sometimes it works.

Mine work at low pressure levels. I occasioally turn doen the flow using an in-line valve when watering smaller areas. the sprinkler works fine at the reduced pressure.

Probably not the most efficient use of this sprinkler. It's better for larger area coverage. I would recommend a circular oscillating sprinkler and control the coverage with water pressure.

You may use the sprinkler head on the plant stand, however you should clamp it to the stand. You could use a small "C" clamp or even a bungee cord to it to the top. Sometimes the pulsating action will cause the sprinkler to move.

Unlikely -- the pump will not generate enough pressure to propel water from sprinklers. -- bigappleedibles.com

its adjustable to a certain extent (limit the turning radius, increase/decrease the throw length by screw adjustment or changing the height of your stand), but it's always going to have a semi-circular pattern - probably not best for a long narrow rectangle. Why not try an oscillating sprinkler (like the ones we played in as kids)?If you absolutely need an impact sprinkler, the Gilmour 196SPB Pattern Master Impulse Sprinkler is a good choice for odd shaped lawns.

I would suppose you could, it can be locked "on" (constant spray) 'tho you'd need to find a way to brace it in place for any really long-term application use since it is primarily a handheld unit.If it's just spot-feeding certain areas of lawn it would work OK. Would think that there'd be a different kind of device for hooking up for a full-lawn sprinkler type application 'tho.On reading the other answers, I must say - I bought this unit over 2 yrs ago.....more for using on some trees needing a boost, but have used it for many other things like strawberry beds & such since. Absolutely love it & wouldn't be without one!!!

I'm not an expert by any means but this is a slow drip for plants. For a yard I'd go with a sprinkler.

I bought one and it's built the same as all the other I've had in the past. The spring that makes the head rotate is the weakest point on these type of sprinklers. So far mine is holding up. I douse them in WD 40 before every use but I'm using well water which is gyppy and very hard. I like and recommend them.
